- Finnish adventurer Andrei Jordi wanted a bike that he could do a little bit of everything on. Massive multi day tours, mid week adventures and everything in between. Andrei chose the Four Corners as his bike to do just that, did he make the right choice?

i used surly disk trucker long haul trucker but this marin four corners fits me very well. long hours on a bike no problem
I have a Marin Bobcat trail 4 . It is an awesome bike. I am planning to upgrade to four corners soon. So, watching reviews is my new hobby..😍😉
Right on!
Currently my go to bike when out bike packing.
Awesome to hear
Great job a4d3e
Thanks Maciej 🤘
My Four Corners is my commuter/grocery getter, but I can easily set this up for a tour and go for weeks. It's the only bike I need.
Awesome to hear!
I was looking for an alternative for my Specialized AWOL and bought the Four Corners half a year ago. I REALLY love this bike!
awesome to hear
Quite inspiring clip, Its grean the combination water and road... we love it!
About the bike, looks robust and with efective crank-set configuration. we will get our pickle and Kimchi ready!
Glad you liked it!
I did a similar conversion to my 2021 Four Corners and added a Jones H-Bar and Sora flat bar shifters and Shimano MT-200 hydraulic brakes. I wonder if Marin could offer a similar build from the factory with Jones H-bar (or equivalent), and Alivio drive train with the 48-36-28 crankset and Shimano hydraulic brakes? The Four Corners frame seems to suit the Jones H-bar really well.
Sounds like an awesome build - we are always looking for feedback on spec from our customers, so will pass on your comments to our product team.
I just put a Jones bar on my 4 Corners and absolutely love it ..
Hey there I have the four corners and was wondering what I would need to do for the conversion to jones bar as I can't get used to drop bar.can I simply get different shifters and brake levers?
Hi I'm wondering can I upgrade my rear shock on Rift zone 1 2021 27.5 (210x50) to 210x52.5 or 210x55?
Hi - the bike is designed around a 210x50mm shock, and making changes will alter the suspension kinematics and will void the frame warranty.
Thanks for the reply
What kind of rear platform have you mounted?
Not sure which one Andrei has, but note that the Four Corners models are equipped with eyelets that allow for virtually any common rear carrier to bolt up with ease. We here at Marin are especially fond of racks from Tubus, but they can be on the pricier side.
What size should i get? My height is 179cm. Can’t wait to own one!!
Our sizing chart puts you on the smaller end of a large, so that's what we'd suggest. Of course everyone has different need and fit demands, so there's an outside chance you may require a medium.
Thanks!!!
Please build this bike with thru axle compatible
we are listening.....
@@marin_bikes cool !
Nicasio + and 4corners both Have same Frame set or any difference ?
No, they are different frames, yet using the same tubing and dropouts. The Four Corners is designed to be an "adventure touring" frame, while the Nicasio and Nicasio+ is a "beyond road" multi-surface endurance bike.
I am curious what is the wheel and tire combination of his bike on this video? Looks 700c x 2”. What is the max tire size in 700 can an xl frame accommodate ?
max tire clearance is 2.1"
@@marin_bikes wow! 700c and 2.1?
Can someone help?
Whats the tightening torque for the bottom bolt that holds rear shock in Main Rift 27.5?
15NM
I'm wanting one but tubeless. West Texas isn't friendly to any tubed bikes I own. Certainly leaning on pulling the trigger and ordering one. I have a 29 inch inseam and I'm 5'9. Think 54/medium would work? Tube looks sloped enough for standover height
Howdy! Yes, at 5'9" a medium should suit you just fine. Noted on needing sealant, and a few of us have injected sealant into tubes via removable valve cores. Or you could also have your shop lace up the wheels with some tubeless-compatible rims. Cheers!
@@marin_bikes I had a friend successfully tubeless the stock rims on the nicasio plus with some tape. Might give it a try. I personally just don't use tubes for anything but road bikes that stay on pavement. Everything else has to be tubelessed out here sadly
@@SwyvCrux There are definitely some "non-approved" means of converting to tubeless. Your results may vary. Enjoy!
What is the possible tire size for the 27.5" ? Please 😁
can take up to a 2.1" tire
@@marin_bikes thanks
Do you sell just the frame? I'd hate to waste all those components, as I will customize it with my own parts.
Hello - we only sell it as a complete bike. Have you seen the new Four Corners 2, which we just launched this week? www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2024-four-corners-2
No, I haven't seen it yet. I'm in Japan so, it wasn't on Marin Japan's website as of yesterday. Do you know when it will be available in Japan?@@marin_bikes
@@CrazyCranker We recommend reaching out to Marin Japan directly, as they have a different mix of offerings than most other markets. marinbikesjapan.com/
I had a local dealer contact them and unfortunately they are sold out :(@@marin_bikes
@@CrazyCranker There must have been a miscommunication, as Marin Japan may not have yet even received the new Four Corners 2, provided it is part of their lineup.
My height is 162 cm What size i can get
We would recommend a small for riders 157 - 168cm tall.
Did he really choose the right bike if he had to replace the bars, the drivetrain, the brake and shifter levers?
Please give us more flat bar, rigid, steel frame bikes, Marin. That is what this guy is using, and you are promoting, but that is not what you are selling.
I think the Muirwoods is the only bike that actually matches what you are promoting here and that is a bit of a budget bike.
Thanks for the feedback. The goal of this video was to show what the Four Corners can be built into by the owner. Andrei also has one set up with drop bars.
@@marin_bikes While on the subject of these bikes, and the muirwoods.... :)
I noticed that the muirwoods had a 2023 and 2022 version on your website. They seem to be identical though. Is this intentional? Was the 2022 just released as a 2023 model or are changes coming?
@@nassozeebo Hi Emil - we have a number of models that "carry forward" into the next model years without any changes. We don't make updates just for the sake of change, but only when they are necessary. The 2023 Muirwoods didn't need any updates for the new year.
To me the Muirwood does not ride like a budget bike, it performs quite well esp for climbing and descents. Very versatile geometry, shifting is excellent and the only things I change was the seat post, saddle and pedals. It may not be expensive but it’s certainly high value for the performance.
@@williamchan8866 agree. It looks pretty great.
Im comparing it to bikes like the kona unit x and surly kramus.
Those have better overall spec, replaceable deraileur hanger, nicer/wider tires, more mounting points on the frame, doesnt have 27.2 mm sestpost, proper thru axle insteas of quick release axle and geometry/a fork that allows me to upgrade to a suspension fork in the future, if i want to.
But still… a kona unit x is 60% more where I live, compared to a muirwoods. Those bikes just feel more premium overall and feels a lot more ”future proof” so im leaning towards the extra money being worth it.
In my eyes the muirwoods look like a great bike but the kona unit x basically looks like a dream bike. :)
I dont think marin has anything that is comparable to the kona unit x but please correct me if im wrong. :) i wish the was a more premium muirwoods.
2 years and still never in stock.
Sorry to hear you are struggling to get hold of one, we definitely have had stock over the last 2 years. Please ask your dealer to contact our sales team to get hold of one for you.
I got my bike one weeks ago...all ready in love with it...search i m sure you will find it!!!🙏
@@tramper-wanderlustxa3686 Excellent!
Can you put bigger tires on the four corners? I’m about to buy one and just wanted to know if it allows you to choose any tires closer to a MTB.
Thank you!
Yes, the 700c versions have clearance for up to a 2.0" tire, depending on the side knobs. Enjoy!
First
Third
congrats
